Company profile:
Pollen gives app developers faster access to revenues they’ve already earned from the app stores, which can immediately be channelled back into user acquisition. This means precious venture capital can be funnelled into product development and growing the business. With Pollen, yesterday’s sales fuel today’s growth.Pollen was conceived by a team of mobile technology and finance entrepreneurs who have first-hand experience of the demands and challenges faced by early-stage technology businesses. We learned, often the hard way, that in the fast-moving world of apps, early access to capital is crucial to success and growth. Without access to funds for user acquisition, smartphone apps often disappear from visible app store rankings and fail to gain traction after the initial launch. With headquarters in San Francisco and London, Pollen’s leadership team encompasses significant expertise in the mobile industry and financial services sectors. We are incubated by YUZA, one of Europe's leading app experience companies. We are already working with app developers, helping them use Pollen to grow their app store revenues and chart positions. We would love you to join us and help us shape Pollen. #URL_8dd7fdaa3afc19f5fc54ef529aa22f87038e91538ffc93ab066310ca62baec82#  Follow us on Twitter: @PollenVC
